F-100D Super Sabre in Thunderbirds Finish

The Trumpeter 1/48 F-100D model showcases the Super Sabre in the striking Thunderbirds paint scheme, pairing historical background with hands-on modelling. The F-100D was one of the first USAF fighters to reach supersonic speed in level flight, gaining fame both in service and on display circuits.

Finished builds sit well on shelves or at club nights, where the Thunderbirds colours make a bold visual statement next to contemporary types.

Is this kit good for display builders?

Yes, the accurate lines and vivid decals make it a strong candidate for display; careful paintwork and decal setting will elevate the finished appearance.

Does the kit need filler work?

Minor seam filling and light sanding are common when assembling the fuselage and control surfaces to achieve smooth joins before painting.

Can I add weight to the nose for balance?

For static display stability it can help to add small weights inside the nose or wheel wells, especially if heavy paint or decals shift the centre of gravity forward.
